Featured review
Well, truth be told, I must admit that I was lured into watching the 2022 movie "Maneater" on three accounts. The first being that this was a shark movie; I do like shark movies, despite most of them being dubious. Secondly, the movie's cover looked interesting. And thirdly, this was a movie that I hadn't already seen.
Granted, I wasn't really harboring much of any high hopes for this shark movie from writer and director Justin Lee, as the majority of the shark movies out there tend to have overly dramatic and cool-looking covers, but the contents of the movie itself is rubbish. But I opted to give "Maneater" the benefit of the doubt.
Sure "Maneater" was watchable, but it was a rather generic shark movie, for better or worse. I mean, it could have been a worse movie experience, as many of the shark movies out there tend to be, but luckily writer and director Justin Lee managed to put together something that was enjoyable enough for what it turned out to be. Sure, you're not in a for a new "Jaws" movie here, but it was a fair enough attempt at a shark movie.
The acting performances in the movie were adequate, but of course for a movie such as "Maneater", then you know you're not in for award-winning movie performances. I was only familiar with Trace Adkins and Jeff Fahey in this movie.
Visually then "Maneater" was okay. Some of the shark scenes were quite good, while others had some rather questionable CGI animation going on. But all in all, the effects in "Maneater" were fair enough to carry the movie.
If you enjoy shark movies, then "Maneater" could be worth your time. I enjoyed it adequately enough.
My rating of "Maneater" lands on a five out of ten stars.
